Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

I love the paradigm shift that Hexbear gave me when it came to Reddit. At first, I was addicted to it, even though I knew it was bad, and I couldn't quit no matter how much I wanted to. It was to a point that I couldn't imagine my life without Reddit.
Once I discovered Hexbear and saw how it's comparatively much cooler, has far fewer losers, chuds, and bigots, and just has a better culture overall, not only did I stop using Reddit entirely, but I pretty much stopped even thinking about using it.
I no longer have thoughts in my mind like "Should I go back to that site one of these days?" It's just flat-out "Nope, fuck that hellhole of an internet cesspool," and I feel super content in it.
I had a similar story but I only stopped browsing reddit in June last year. Critical support to them for banning third-party apps because it ended up breaking my addiction.
